Hi,
Adding mingw-w64-public to CC.

Anyway, program "gendef" header can be ignored, its placed in the 
comments section. The double quotes are needed to allow dlls with spaces 
in the name. I have to admit that the specs don't say anything about 
quotation marks.

You can use tracker at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=202880> 
to file requests, or contact the developers directly via irc at 
#mingw-w64 on irc.oftc.net.
